The work begins with the ninety nine names of God, and then the a collection of over one hundred names of Muhammad. In others however, its recitation is a purely voluntary daily practice. Among some Sunni religious orders, most notably the Shadhili order, its recitation is a daily practice. It is also the most popular and most universally acclaimed collection of litanies asking God to bless him. The Dala'il al-Khayrat is the first major book in Islamic history which compiled litanies of peace and blessings upon Muhammad. Muslims avidly recited it, alone and in groups, in homes and mosques, utterly spending themselves in the Blessings on the Most Beloved and praising him". He also states that the blessings one attains from the Dala’il is immeasurable and if it’s true worth was known, one would never cease to recite it. However, the Wazeefa takes priority over other recitations such as the Dala’il.Moroccan hadith scholar Abdullah al-Talidi wrote of the Dala'il al-Khayrat: "Millions of Muslims from East to West tried it and found its good, its blessing, and its benefit for centuries and over generations, and witnessed its unbelievable spiritual blessings and light.

The Shaykh emphasises that the mureed should read at least one Hizb a day if not one full Dala’il a day. The Shaykh strongly urges students to frequent the recitation of Salawat, and the Dala’il al-Khayrat is a perfect way of achieving that. It was the routine of Grand Shaykh, Khwaja Sufi Muhammad Aslam to recite the Dala’il twice daily once after Fajr Salah and once between `Asr and Maghrib Salah. We also know from the Al-Shifa of Qadi `Iyaad, that RasoolAllah receives our Salawat directly on the day of Friday. “Send plenty of Salawat upon me on the day of Friday.” “A man who has the trait of being a miser is he who doesn’t recite Salawat upon hearing my name.” Two examples of this are within Hadiths where RasoolAllah has said, A Hizb is recited every day, twice on a Sunday, and Khatam is made. The importance of Salawat is widely stated, and the Dala’il usually contains a chapter before the actual Salawat dedicated to depicting the importance of Salawat upon RasoolAllah. The Dala’il consists of 8 parts, or Hizb, and is to be completed in a week. The young girl replied, “from a young age, my mother would make it habit to get me to recite Salawat upon the one whom the trees would uproot themselves to come into his presence.” After hearing this, Imam al Jazuli compiled the Dala’il al-Khayrat. After praying, he asked the girl, “How, at such a young age, did you get the water to rise simply by spitting in it?” Imam al Jazuli made his ablutions and then prayed. Water began to rise, and flow out of the well. He stood pondering how to draw water when a little girl around the age of 6 came and said to the Imam, “You are such a great man of knowledge who people flock towards, yet you can’t get water out of a well?” And she spat into the well. The account is that Imam al Jazuli wanted to make wudhu to perform his prayers, upon finding a well he realised he couldn’t draw water from it. It is an accepted method of Prayers upon the Messenger, and is a means of gaining closeness to him due to the fact it consists entirely of Salawat. The story of how it came into existence is told by many, and there are slight variations in its narration. The Dala’il is recited throughout most Turuq, and is one of the most circulated books in the Muslim world after the Qur’an.

– Khwaja Sufi Arshad Mahmood Naqshbandi HafidhahUllah “The one who recites the Dala’il al-Khayrat daily, and with sincerity his voice reaches the chamber of RasoolAllah !”
